Contrary to what others have posted, this is a legit question. Since Hamas was elected in 2006 there haven't been elections. But the question is "Why?" Did Hamas clamp down and crush the rights of the people of Gaza after their election? Did the Gazans support their government, just as the Russians do? The current Gaza/Israel conflict has been in the 24/7 news cycle for quite some time now. The media is digging deep and struggling to find more to report on this hot topic... YET, we have not heard a single demand in the endless media reporting from Gazans for free and fair elections. None. Zero. What we have seen is many Gaza citizens openly celebrate the 10/7 Hamas attack on Israel. Anti-Israel groups are lying to us. Plain and simple. The Gazans largely support Hamas, just as they largely celebrated the 10/7 attack on Israel. They do not seek free and fair elections - of course not, they despise western democracy. Where Gazans start and Hamas ends, and vice-versa, is as shady as where hospitals start and terrorists end and vice-versa in the region.

Don't have much to contribute to the Isreal/Hamas discussion, but can tell you Russians do not support this government or their actions. Sure we see Russians on TV and Twitter whooping it up, just as we see Tucker whooping up Russia. But the majority of everyday people on the streets do no support this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen Russians on tv remarking on their appreciation for the good economy they are experiencing and voicing disapproval of the Zelensky regime, and support for their own. Can you give an example of Tucker “whooping up Russia?” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I could give plenty of examples of Tucker praising up Russia. Just as easily, you could find them yourself…..if you really wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports by trusted reporters, video of stocked store shelves, human activity. In Tucker’s case, I’ve seen nearly everything he’s put out and some others have put out about him, and can’t think of anything that you could disagree with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not at all surprised you buy the Russian propaganda hook line and sinker, especially as you avoid the question. Your leniency on those types of feels being stroked has been evident for some time.

You expect a country to have a non-militarized border with a country that invaded them? The video is of the anti-personnel barrier between Egypt and Gaza. Further south, where the border is between Egypt and Israel, it is only a fence, that Israel built, and both countries cooperate to patrol. It’s said to mainly prevent Africans from crossing into Israel. What’s obvious is Egypt is going to greater effort to prevent Palestinians from entering Egypt than preventing Israelis from entering Egypt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egypt/Gaza border is less than 8 miles - easy to monitor with cameras and patrols. US/Mexico border is close to 2,000 miles - it's a completely different problem. Context matters.
